This week, we interviewed Ann Latham. Ann is the author of The Power of Clarity: Unleash the True Potential of Workplace Productivity, Confidence, and Empowerment.
She is also the founder of Boston area consulting firm Uncommon Clarity®, Inc. Her clients represent more than 40 industries and range from for-profit organizations, such as Boeing, Medtronic, and Hitachi, to nonprofit organizations as diverse as Public Television and Smith College.
Ann spent the first half of her career working in high-tech companies, beginning as a software engineer and winding up reporting to the CEO and leading cross-functional and cross-divisional efforts to set strategy and make operational improvements. In 2004, after years of helping only one company at a time, Ann decided to strike out as an independent consultant so she could take her talents to many companies and increase her impact.
Ann has also authored three additional books: The Disconnect Principle, The Clarity Papers, and Uncommon Meetings.
Ann has been quoted in the New York Times, Bloomberg, MSNBC, and is an expert blogger for Forbes.com. She is also a guest lecturer at the Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts, and Springfield College.
She graduated magna cum laude from Tufts University with a degree in mathematics.
